General Education Courses
Students must complete the required number of credits within each Gen Ed designation. No more than eight General
Education credits can come from the same department. Note that there are three Departments in The Crane School of
Music (Music Education, Performance, & Theory/History/Composition). Students must satisfy at least one of the AE, AC or
XC modes outside of Crane; practically speaking, this means the XC will be fulfilled outside of Crane. All courses receive LA
credit unless the course title has an "@" in front of it in the Schedule of Classes.
27 total minimum credit hours outside of music
35 total minimum general education credit hours
39 total minimum liberal arts credit hours in the degree (music & non-music)
Freshman Experience:

SA - Social Analysis (3 cr)
XC - Cross-Cultural (3 cr) – XC must be taken outside of Crane if AE is taken in Crane
AE - Aesthetic-Experiential (2 cr) – satisfied by ensemble requirements; AE must be taken
